Abstract: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device with a fill structure. The semiconductor structure includes first and second fin structures on a substrate, an isolation region on the substrate and between the first and second fin structures, a first gate structure disposed on the first fin structure and the isolation region, a second gate structure disposed on the second fin structure and the isolation region, and the fill structure on the isolation region and between the first and second gate structures. The fill structure includes a dielectric structure between the first and second gate structures and an air gap enclosed by the dielectric structure. The air gap is below top surfaces of the first and second fin structures.

Abstract: Embodiments utilize a silicon germanium layer deposited to a low germanium percentage under a substrate. The substrate is used to form a field effect transistor FET structure. After formation of the FET, the silicon germanium layer is oxidized to drive germanium to a concentrated sublayer of the silicon germanium layer. The sublayer is used as a stop layer to remove the oxidized portion of the silicon germanium layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate stack over a semiconductor substrate. A spacer extends substantially along a first sidewall of the gate stack. An epitaxy structure is in the semiconductor substrate. A liner wraps around the epitaxy structure and has an outer surface in contact with the semiconductor substrate and an inner surface facing the epitaxy structure. The outer surface of the liner has a first facet extending upwards and towards the gate stack from a bottom of the first liner and a second facet extending upwards and towards an outer sidewall of the spacer from a top of the first facet to a top of the liner, such that a corner is formed between the first facet and the second facet, and the inner surface of the first liner defines a first curved corner pointing towards the corner formed between the first facet and the second facet.

Abstract: Methods of forming a stacked transistor are provided. One representative method may include patterning a first dummy nanostructure, a second dummy nanostructure, and a semiconductor nanostructure. The semiconductor nanostructure may be disposed between the first dummy nanostructure and the second dummy nanostructure. The first dummy nanostructure may comprise a first semiconductor material and the second dummy nanostructure may comprise a superlattice structure. The representative method may also include performing an etching process that simultaneously recesses the first dummy nanostructure to form a sidewall recess and removes the second dummy nanostructure to form an opening. The etching process selectively etches the superlattice structure at a faster rate than the first semiconductor material. The representative method may further include forming an inner spacer and an isolation structure in, respectively, the sidewall recess and the opening.
